Tap, speak, and it lands as finished text. Fillers gone, punctuation fixed, layout done. Translate, rewrite, note, open apps, all with one key.
Moro is not dictation with an AI label slapped on. The four questions that actually matter: is input faster, does it work across apps, does privacy hold up, and what does it cost over time. Here’s where we stand.
Voice runs ~180 chars/min against ~60 typing — before the cleanup and punctuation it saves. (estimate)
System-wide across most standard macOS text fields: WeChat, Lark, Notion, Cursor, Mail, Notes, and more. Some custom fields may be limited.
Flip to local-only: transcription and processing stay on your Mac, 0 content leaves; password fields always skipped.
Buy the software once, no monthly fees; local models cost ¥0, cloud runs on your own key.
No keymap to memorize, no mode to pick first. Just say it, and Moro works out what you want.

BetaAction intents like Open, Find and Settings are still maturing. When unsure, Moro falls back to plain dictation rather than acting blindly, and it asks before anything sensitive. It remembers the corrections you make.
3× faster than typing. Fillers removed, punctuation and numbers fixed. What lands is ready to send.
Jot by voice, filed as tidy to-dos. Say “the weekly report is in” to check it off.
Place the cursor in a paragraph and tap Space three times—no selection needed. It writes back in place, or floats beside read-only text.
⌥R rewrites, ⌥S polishes. The same line reworded — clearer and more natural — replaced in place, and you can undo it.
Ask in a flash. Attach your selection, a file, or a screenshot, and use the answer right away.
Can’t speak? Double-tap ⌘ to type. Same intents.
Most voice tools are judged only by transcription accuracy. Moro connects what you said, where you are, what you meant, which model to use, and where the result should land.
Hold a shortcut to speak, or type when speaking is awkward. Fewer entry points, less muscle-memory cost.
Classifies write, translate, rewrite, note, ask, open, find and settings. If unsure, it falls back to plain input.
Cloud handles higher-quality output, local keeps things private. Each feature can route to different models and compatible endpoints.
Results land in the active app; notes become local cards; terms, style and stats stay on your Mac where possible.
Speaking is usually faster than typing. Moro converts each input into minutes saved and keeps the tally on your in-app stats page — usage, time saved and per-model performance, recorded on your Mac only.
Estimated for Chinese at ~60 chars/min typing vs ~180 speaking. The in-app tally uses a more conservative formula, so real numbers may be lower.
Voice ~180 chars/min vs typing ~60 — a 3× floor, assuming these inputs go by voice. The cleanup and punctuation it saves aren't even counted.
Works with most standard macOS text fields; write-back and selection actions may be limited in some Electron apps, web editors, or custom fields.
Tap ⌥D and just say it. Moro files it into a card—idea, note, meeting, or to-do—sorted for you. Say “the weekly report is in” to check it off; ask “what’s left this week?” for an instant answer.
In a meeting, late at night, or at a noisy café, double-tap ⌘ and a uTools-style bar appears. Type instead of speaking through the same intent pipeline.
Pause while typing and Moro drafts your next line in light gray, right at the cursor. Tap Tab to take it. Speak when you know what to say; let it draft a sendable line while you're still weighing words — the two ways of writing complement each other.
The main window is your overview: today’s activity, the week’s trend, and every recent action at a glance.

Cloud models are optional and often offer higher quality. One tap switches to local-only, keeping transcription and processing entirely on your Mac.
Connect your own API and route per feature, or stay on local models (a free in-app download) and send nothing out.

The best subscription tools are very good after years of refinement. We don't claim to beat them across the board — we focus on the things you use every day, voice, translation, rewriting, notes, and make them smooth, stable, and dependable.

The ones people ask most, answered up front. Permissions, models, offline and every feature in detail live in the full docs.
Read the full docsSystem dictation mainly turns speech into raw text. Moro adds intent detection, de-filling, punctuation, tone, translation, notes, Q&A and in-place output so the result is usable. Can't speak? Summon it by typing, or let it draft the next line when you pause (Beta).
Cloud models are optional. Relevant content is sent to the provider you configure and is subject to that provider’s privacy and retention policies. Moro’s local history is encrypted on your Mac, deletable anytime, and not uploaded by Moro. In local-only mode, transcription and processing can stay entirely on your Mac; password and other secure fields are skipped and not read.
The interface supports Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean; translation covers more languages with a separate target-language setting. Dictation coverage and accuracy depend on the speech model, accent, and environment. Qwen3-ASR and Fun-ASR support mixed Chinese-English, while Parakeet is better suited to English and European languages.
Onboarding walks you through four core permissions: Microphone for voice input; Accessibility to power the global shortcuts, read the context at your cursor and write results back; Input Monitoring to keep shortcuts reliable with certain keyboards/IMEs; Full Disk Access for the local “find file” search — names, file contents and recently-opened files are matched against your Mac's own index, nothing leaves the machine. Screen Recording stays off by default and plays no part in everyday input — it's used only if you opt into the experimental reply-draft feature inside closed apps like WeChat.
The current edition is a one-time purchase for lifetime use, with no monthly or annual renewal. Maintenance updates and future major-version upgrade terms will be published with the final license at launch. Cloud models use your own key and usage; local models have no cloud usage fee.
The first private beta is now underway. Apply with your email, and download access will be sent by email in batches. Moro requires macOS 15 (Sequoia) or later and is optimized for Apple Silicon.
